The 2011 census of Scotland showed that a total of 57,375 people (1.1% of the Scottish population aged over three years old) in Scotland could speak Gaelic at that time, with the Outer Hebrides being the main stronghold of the language. The census results indicate a decline of 1,275 Gaelic speakers from 2001. A total of 87,056 people in 2011 reported having some facility with Gaelic compared to 93,282 people in 2001, a decline of 6,226. Despite this decline, revival efforts exist and the number of speakers of the language under age 20 has increased.

BBC Scotland

BBC Scotland (Scottish Gaelic:BBC Alba) is the division of the BBC, and the publicly funded broadcaster for Scotland. Established in 1952, BBC Scotland is based in Glasgow and employs approximately 1,250 staff to produce 15,000 hours of programming for television and radio in both Scotland and the rest of the UK.

BBC Scotland has three TV channels (BBC1, BBC2, BBC Alba) and two radio stations. Some £320 million of licence fee revenue is raised in Scotland, with spend on local content by BBC Scotland set to stand at £86 million by 2016-17. The remainder of licence fee revenue raised in the country is spent on networked programmes.

History

The first radio service in Scotland was launched by the British Broadcasting Company on 6 March 1923. Named 5SC and located in Glasgow, the services gradually expanded to include the new stations 2BD, 2DE and 2EH, based at Aberdeen, Dundee and Edinburgh respectively. Around 1927, the new Corporation, as the BBC now was, decided to combine these local stations into regions under the generic banner of the BBC Regional Programme. When this was merged to form the BBC Home Service in 1939, national opt outs remained on the station and its successor BBC Radio 4 until the full separation of this opt out to become BBC Radio Scotland in November 1978.

City Walks: Edinburgh, Scotland - Exploring the Scottish Capital

City Walks: Edinburgh, Scotland - Exploring the ScottishCapital
My very first City Walks is in the capital city of Edinburgh, Scotland. I started out in the morning on Calton Hill and had to take it back up in the afternoon as I had a battery issue. There will be some figuring of things out as I go along. This first walk has a break around Holyrood palace, after the castle and old town, because my battery died, but I recharged, and continued on past Arthurs Seat in the afternoon. Edinburgh is an amazing city to explore on foot with lots of history and museums and great old stone buildings. The sun rising over the Firth of Forth is a sight to behold and the myriad of pubs and coffee shops are welcoming and warm.
Let me know if you prefer talking or if I should stay silent. Keezy Walk...

That the Parliament recognises the vital role that tourism plays in Scotland's prosperity, not only in its direct economic impact, but in the many ways that it can help to tackle the inequalities that exist in society; notes the recent collaboration by VisitScotland, the Family Holiday Association, Historic Environment Scotland and the many industry partners to provide ScotSpirit Breaks for families in difficult circumstances, which has shown the positive impact that the industry can have on improving the lives and life-chances of people who are not able to step outside their everyday routine; commends organisations such as Euan’s Guide for their work with public partners and private sectors in making tourism more inclusive through the development of access statements for facilities and services, along with accessible travel itineraries; congratulates destinations and individual businesses, right across Scotland, on how they are making use of these tools to help widen opportunities, not only for people with permanent disabilities, but also parents with young children, senior travellers and people with temporary injuries and their travel companions; considers that tourism is for everyone, and welcomes the continued support of public and private partners and the tourism industry itself in their willingness to work together, aiming to further develop inclusive tourism as an overarching approach so that all of Scotland can reap the many social and economic benefits that it can bring.
